Brandon and his team did an incredible job on our basement project from start to finish. They were professional, transparent, and made sure we understood every step of the process, including any potential surprises. We couldn’t be happier with the results—highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality workmanship and honest service!

Sending out solid thanks to a great crew! Travis Clark, Brian Eskridge, Justin Geigling, and Tyler Davies… anyone would be lucky to have these guys working for them. Very down to earth, approachable & respectful. They took time the time to explain the process fully, including any concerns our family had during the renovation… They treated our home as if it were their own, making sure the job was done right. I appreciate and respect the professional, human nature with which they completed the job. Travis… great communication. Always took time whenever I called. Reliable, honest, his heart in the right place. Made sure the thing was done right. Hard to find this kind of help these days… Kudos and gratitude to the whole crew ~ Thank you guys!

Had a foundation gutter system and pump installed, then unexpectedly had to put my house up for sale. My inspection was this morning, 11/5/24, after a crazy 36 hours of rain. 10 inches where I lived. The inspector came, basement was BONE DRY. Phenomenal system installed. And it took these guys a day to install it. On top of it all I was pleasantly surprised with the price, and the level of customer service was outstanding. Wholeheartedly recommend.

Worked with Mike Brown today and I enjoyed how professional and knowledgeable he was about my current concrete issue. No rushing to just get me a quote, I feel he genuinely ensured I knew everything with recommendations without any hassle. It makes the decision to work with people who you fill are genuinely in it for the customer and not just trying to make a quick commission or buck for the company!

This is based on Quote only. We have not had work completed yet, it is scheduled. He did take a long time with us going over everything so we knew exactly what he is planning on doing. He also explained the difference in materials he plans to use with different parts of the job. The services they offered was above what others was offering even though their prices were a little higher.

I am having the work done on November 12. I will review that after instlation. I want to rate the Sales Rep William James. He did an excellent job with giving me all the information I needed to allow me to make an informed decision. He did not pressure me to do anything. It was my decission. He explained the different methods and systems used to level my porch, sidewalk and driveway. In my opinion, he is a keeper. If the contractor is as good as he is, I will advertise for them.

I had a plumbing leak inside of my crawl space and being unsure of what to do we called Foundation Recovery Systems. Mike Bonali came out and unfortunately my current problem was a bit more extreme than originally thought. It was outside of their scope of work BUT was still able to help us. He took the time to answer all of my questions and also reach out to his team and provide me with recommendations on someone who might be able to help. Definitely going to keep them in mind for future services if the need arises.

Foundation Recovery Systems installed 11 helical piers on the sinking addition to our house. First, our inspector/estimator, Tanner, was very informative, listened well to our concerns, and was easy to communicate with. After work was completed, Tanner followed up with a phone call to make sure we were pleased with the crew's work. Our crew foreman, Jon, and the rest of the crew were very professional and very hard working. Jon communicated with me clearly about what they were doing and why each step of the way. He also kept me informed of obstacles they encountered and how they were solving them. The crew accidentally damaged some window trim and an exterior door threshold, but Jon told me immediately about it and the company has reimbursed us every penny for repairs. The crew completed their work and we are so happy we hired FRS!

Met with Tom Tuck who was very personable. He was very thorough and thoughtful while checking out my dad’s house which we thought had foundation issues. Turns out the issues are all cosmetic, and even though that was the case, and we didn’t need foundation repair, Tom still spent time brainstorming how the issues could have occurred and advising us on possible next steps. We appreciated his knowledge and integrity very much.

How We Encapsulate Your Crawl Space

Securing a safe and dry crawl space is a detailed process. Each step in these solutions and installations is key to transforming your crawl space into an area that’s dry, clean, and contributes to your home’s energy efficiency. 

Control Ground Water Seepage

CrawlDrain being installed in crawl space
What We Do

The ground around and under your house is full of water. Rain and snow saturate the soil, seep into your crawl space, and evaporates, filling the crawl space with moisture and humidity. It’s the perfect environment for mold and wood rot to eat away at the structure of your home. The first thing we do to stop this from happening is to add drainage in your crawl space to cycle out the water trying to get in.

What We Use

Change the Environment

What We Do

The next step we take to protect your crawl space from moisture is to seal it with an industrial grade vapor barrier. This will change the environment in your crawl space and keep it controlled. It will keep all the moisture trying to destroy your home from getting in through open crawl space vents, gaps in the foundation wall, and any other opening. All of these need to be encapsulated. With encapsulation from Foundation Recovery Systems, a healthier, more stable home is finally possible.

What We Use

Properly Insulate the Home

What We Do

Imagine you left your front door open all winter long. That’s what it’s like without a properly insulated crawl space. With your crawl space and subfloor exposed to the elements, your floor will get cold, and then you’ll see your energy bills climb as your heating overworks itself. That’s why Foundation Recovery Systems installs insulation blocks that resists moisture and mold, keep your home warm, and your energy bills low.
